Electronic Locks and their Features

EMB Electronic locks

In the 21st century, we have smarter Smartphone’s every year, smart watches, smart houses. While you’re no doubt familiar with electronic locks, your home probably still relies on a standard deadbolt lock and key. There are a variety of keyless electronic access systems.

What are the best keyless systems and what are the pros and cons? Electronic locks work the same way as standard locking mechanisms. The major differences are in their function. Several have keypads while others can be opened through an app.

Pros:

Electronic Locks Are More Convenient
Many businesses, car owners, and some homeowners prefer electronic locks for added convenience. Rather than dropping off keys, visitors can be given the access code instead. You can stop carrying keys and worrying about making copies or changing locks, and instead simplifies your access system.

Electronic Locks Are Often Combined With Security Services
Many people combine electronic locks with automated security systems, triggering an alarm in the case of a break-in, further improving security. This is done through Z-waves that work directly with your alarm system.

Keyless Locks Improve Business and Home Security
In residential homes, 63% of burglaries occurred during the day. Many homeowners keep a spare key on their property or have cheap deadbolts more vulnerable to criminals. With the help of our professionals at Tru-max Security Inc, electronic locks can improve home and business security.

Cons:

Electronic Locks Can Be More Expensive
Electronic locking systems cost more than traditional locking systems of the same type.

Electronic Locks Aren’t Foolproof
Even though you don’t have to carry a key, some people still forget their password or PIN number. Depending on the kind of electronic lock system you invest in, you can still run into issues requiring the aid of a professional locksmith ASAP. Also, in our harsh Canadian winter, the lower end of these electronic locks can and do lock up at -20 to -40.

Below you will find the electronic locks we highly recommend and would be happy to install for you. To increase the security of your home and business.
